Booking Through Thursday: Recent Serious
The most recent serious book I’ve read is Nineteen Minutes by Jody Picoult.
In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn, color your hair, watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five….In nineteen minutes, you can stop the world, or you can just jump off it. In nineteen minutes, you can get revenge.
This affected me so much because as a parent, you couldn’t help but wonder about your child when they start going to school.

I’m planning on reading this one. I just love Picoults writing and she’s definately serious
